Meet Ellen Tisdale
Business support shaped by real ownership experience.
Ellen Tisdale started Ellen T. Consulting to help business owners connect with strategic resources, better understand their financial flows, and retain more of their earnings.
Before consulting, Ellen owned a retail and restaurant business herself. That experience gave her a firsthand understanding of the pressure business owners face when managing operations, documentation, cash flow, and financial obligations.
Over the past two years, Ellen has spent time getting to know businesses in St. Louis, identifying common bottlenecks around cash flow, business documentation, and access to funding. Today, she focuses on helping owners move through those gaps with practical, organized support.
No matter the size or sector of a business, there is often an opportunity to save money, improve documentation, and create a clearer path forward.
